I just think people are too much in a hurry with results. With these things, the lag between discovery to commercial viability is decades, not months...
Agreed and flying cars taught me this over several decades, as they have many others if they think about it. The valley between in the lab/prototype and commercial viable/practical is long and wide in some science.
That's not really the argument though. I would wager GP is more lamenting the writing style and "hype" surrounding certain tech, which causes widespread misinformation in the longer term, instead of reporting accurately and keeping scientific literature concise and accurate.
